Check out this post from a friend of mine at Mog.com. Here, you can stream, and even download the wonderful song.
Could NFL’s Chad Ochocinco be unveiling a music career soon. Watch the video above and make the judgment call yourself.
This is quite a fun mashup. I tend to appreciate more innovative mashups such as this one. Whenever there are more than two mixes in the tune, it gets a lot more interesting.
I’m not a big hip-hop fan, but I was blown away by this performance. This is proof that these three are the titans of the industry.
This amazing music video was created entirely from sounds from the movie Terminator 2. Enjoy this masterpiece.
After a long and tedious 25 day countdown, The Music Mastermind has finally revealed its #1 album of 2007. Mika’s Life in Cartoon Motion has taken home the honor of releasing nothing short of utter magnificence. Mika, a young and new British songwriter, possesses the absolute best lead vocal that I have heard since Freddy Mercury of Queen. The resemblances between the two are uncanny. Mika even makes light of this in the opening track and first single “Grace Kelly.”
Surprisingly, aside from “Grace Kelly,” Mika didn’t see much radio and MTV promotion. Over the year, however, Mika’s music was licensed on a countless number of TV shows and independent radio. The only problem with that, however, is that Mika’s name was never glorified as much as it should have been. The artist was able to release the most diverse, playful, emotional, and talent-filled record of the year without many people noticing.
Tracks like “Lollipop,” “Any Other World,” and “My Interpretation” are only a small percentage of the complete diversity that Life in Cartoon Motion offers. Remarkably, every song has something unique to offer. Also, somehow, Mika created themes and premises for each song, giving every single track a degree of importance. No matter who you are, you should be able to find a song that you can relate to, or at least understand completely.
Twenty-five days later, the “25 Days of Music” countdown is complete. As I mentioned before, 2007 presented a ton of great new music; some of which were new bands, while some were great artists that have continued their reign. The Music Mastermind wraps up this year’s countdown, and anticipates the potential that 2008 currently holds. Subscribe and stay posted to the “Music Mastermind Blog” to remain in the music industry loop, and hear up and coming artists. Until December 1, 2008, this is the Music Mastermind signing out of the first edition of the “25 Days of Music” countdown.
#2: The Shins – Wincing the Night Away
The Shins barely missed out on the number one spot of the “25 Days of Music” countdown. Before revealing the #1 album, just know that the top 2 were essentially tied for the major honor. The differences and similarities between The Shins and tomorrow’s #1 rtist will be obvious to most, but unfortunately The Shins weren’t able to pull away with the title. Stay tuned tomorrow (Christmas day) for the Music Mastermind’s number one album of 2007.
Mirrored was definitely one of the most refreshing albums of the year for me. I was absolutely flabbergasted when I was exposed to this intriguing band. Quite frankly, I was most dumbfounded that I had never heard of them before. Much to my surprise, their album was already released and they were slowly beginning to pick up independent steam. Now, months later, they have earned themselves Plug Award nominations and a decent fanbase. Now let’s just hope that they decide to tour the states in 2008.
For indie music fans, some may know Leslie Feist from her involvement with the popular group Broken Social Scene. If you are unfamiliar, however, than Feist just may be the coolest new artist to pop out of Canada this year. Songs like “So Sorry” and “I Feel It All” lead the collection of songs by hypnotizing the listener with a subtly sweet voice and beautiful melodies.
Feist will be around for a while. As of right now, she may be the most highly requested live act in the United States. Before she embarks on her highly anticipated tour, any music fan unaware of The Reminder’s brilliance should take the time to check out this album. After all, it is the Music Mastermind’s fourth best album of all of 2007.
